Week 36 - Getting Into Position

Your baby has added another half pound and now weighs nearly 6 pounds, measures almost 19 inches in length, and is almost ready to check out of "Hotel Mom."

Your baby has moved downward into your pelvic cavity; hopefully headfirst. However, at this stage it is very common for babies to be feet first, or breech. If your baby is still in this position next week, your doctor may try to turn it using external cephalic version, or ECV.
